“Mbeki was presidential, insightful, decisive and articulate. Someone you can be proud to say ‘My President’, but his blind spots were Zimbabwe and HIV/AIDS denialism. His removal was premature because what followed next was the end to our democracy, our curse begun with Zuma.” - ex @UKZN VC, Prof. Malegapuru Makgoba
Anyway, she calmed down and stayed the two hours she was meant to, but having to walk away from the sound of my daughter crying is possible one of the hardest things I've ever done.
I can’t think of a single thing Belgium is known for besides their waffles
Good morning wide world. Good morning Johannesburg. Good morning bright half moon. Good morning fairy iris, isiqungasehlati, groot wilde iris.
There is nothing wrong with the @AuditorGen_SA salary. She is an accomplished, effective and respected executive who would command the same, if not more, in the private sector. As Lee Kuan Yew demonstrated in Singapore, paying public servants competitively helps attract and retain the best talent, aligns incentives with performance, and reduces the temptation to moonlight or pursue illicit income. The real question is not what she earns, but whether she delivers value for the public she serves. Tsakani Maluleke has more than proven her worth and delivers in an environment where the public is often taken for granted.
I am a foreigner. A white settler in South Africa. I am not an African, for truly speaking, there is no such thing as a white African, as much as some like to make-believe that this is so. Like each and every other white South African, I am the original foreigner in South Africa. We are largely responsible for the grave economic plight that most black South Africans are in today. For the black poverty of the day was largely manufactured by whites during apartheid and colonial days. That such patterns of black poverty remain in democratic South Africa, is a damning and shameful legacy for the ANC government. White South Africans greedily hold the lion’s share of land and economy, much of which was gained through the most brutal systemic subjugation of black South Africans. theafrican.co.za/politics/2022-…
